Fair enough, I'm not going to defend the brothers past my last point. I think people have what they need to make a decision. Bottom line, all of this is good advice, the "customer" is informed, and I have no need to contadict any of it.
(See, that's solidarity in the face of oppression, my friend!)

Admitting that the statements are "almost libelous" means they are NOT LIBEL!
"Strong personalities" includes quite a few other unsavory attitude problems.
Unfortunately in this economy those with a little bit of power and money can really have it their way and sink their talons into the workers' backs like they are prey. But now sunlight, if only just a little bit, shines on the other side of the story.
It is hoped this will prepare those mentally for what is to come. Be wise my working brothers and sisters and do not let pathetic people with alpha complexes push you around. Do what is in your best interest because your boss (esp, a certain someone) will not/could not/shall not/never ever ever will have any of it.

Northern California,#4UPDATE EX-employee responds
Wed, May 08, 2013
This report seems to have been written by an ex-empoyee. I feel I have to respond to some of this, which seems almost libelous. The firm is a small firm run by two brothers. The firm does good work for many large companies. One or more of the partners may have strong personalities at times. They are not bad people, and are devoted to their families.
The firm provides opportunities for people who may not get hired elsewhere. This includes first years who may not be at the top of their classes or may have difficulty getting their foot into the doors of the profession. This may include people who weren't at the top of their classes and others. In that way, the firm actually helps people.
If you are applying here, I would strongly ask you to consider your goals and whether working here will advance your goals. Some people have stuck around, while others have moved on to bigger firms or other IP boutiques, or in-house at large companies like Western Digital.
